Only every other entry level service industry job. It’s not like there’s a ton of those around…

Things you will need to operate while driving your car shouldn’t have touch screen controls.

The problem is they integrate that shit with the functions you do want like the radio and AC and then make you operate it all through a god damn touchscreen so that if you get on the highway before you realize you forgot to turn the shitty lane assist off you now have to take your life in your hands to disable it or risk it ramming you into that ladder or pothole or something because it doesn’t want you to change lanes abruptly.

My non EV is still perfectly serviceable and I don’t like all the superfluous electronic touchscreen bullshit they’re putting in modern vehicles so I’m going to keep driving it until the wheels fall off.

I watched it a bit growing up and never got racist vibes from it either. The Confederate flag just meant “the south” to me back then. I knew a lot of people with them on various knick knacks and articles of clothing that I never witnessed being racist either. I don’t think people put so much thought into it back then.

These days though, yeah if you’re still flying that flag you’re probably an asshole.

I need lean protein and meat is the best source. I mostly eat chicken but beef is number 2 behind that. I’ll eat pork but don’t really care for it. Unfortunately I don’t like fish aside from canned tuna. So options are limited. I’ve tried finding vegetarian meals but most of what I found has poor macros compared to meat and requires a lot more prep time. I don’t really care where my nutrition comes from as long as it tastes okay. If they made a human version of dog food that met my macro requirements I’d just carry a bag of that around everywhere.

This worked for me as well.

I set my pocket knife on mine

Looking back, the bacon suit might have been a mistake.

Why can’t we just accept that the KEI is less safe then?

Ford and Hyundai have tried to bring service to that market with the Maverick and Santa Cruz

They didn’t try very hard. The Maverick doesn’t have a single cab or full size bed option and the santa cruz looks like a SUV with 1/4 of the back chopped off.

Here’s a comparison of a 2008 Ranger vs. a 2022 Maverick to show what I mean better. They’re roughly the same size but you lose so much with the Maverick.

2008 RANGER Height 67.7 in. Length 203.6 in. Width 69.4 in. Wheelbase 125.9 in.

2022 MAVERICK Height 68.7 in. Length 199.7 in. Width 72.6 in. Wheelbase 121.1 in.

If that happened I’d buy one. A truck would make a lot of sense for me but I hate the ones that are available so much I couldn’t stomach buying one. I just make due with my old civic and borrowing my dads colorado when I need to move big stuff.

It’s all fun and games until she takes a trip somewhere without him and wakes up with bad breath.

Installing Linux is a pretty trivial process at this point. Not much additional work beyond what already comes with setting up a new laptop. Especially of you’ve already done it before.

My job is in the early stages of planning for updating everything to windows 11. I just got my testing VM with it the other day which is my first experience with it and I had an almost physical reaction to how bad the gui looks when I first logged in. I haven’t even done anything with it and I already hate it.

On the other hand the Linux VM I set up at home to test my personal stuff out on has been going swimmingly.

Yeah, I learned early on how to speak up for myself thanks to these projects. If we had to do extra to cover someone else not doing their part that person got thrown under the bus.

As soon as we started having group projects in like 6th grade.

Me on core day.

Must be a Jigglypuff episode.

Cool dad, I just wanted you to be proud of me but I guess you can use it to attention whore if you want…
